I own a Chevy Cavalier convertable 2000. The roof is separating from the plastic rear window. What can I use to bond it back together? ---

If I were you, I’d stop in to a good local auto upholstery place to get an estimate. I suspect the wrong repair at home wouldn’t hold up after a few cycles of the roof. ---

Can you see what type of bond has failed? Is it split stiching or a broken zipper (rear convertible top windows are a problem area) some have the window zipped in (BMW Z3). Or can you see where a glue bond has come apart? I also feel you are headed to the upholestry shop. Shop around as some are quite expensive.
